Fast Radio Bursts from Extragalactic Light Sails

Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. February 27, 2017.

Lingam and Loeb consider whether some fast radio bursts could be artificial propulsion beams. The paper presents conditional models and possible tests, explicitly treating the artificial explanation as more speculative than astrophysical alternatives.

Fast radio bursts: the observational case for a Galactic origin

Dan Maoz, Abraham Loeb, Yossi Shvartzvald, Monika Sitek, Michael Engel, Flavien Kiefer, Marcin Kiraga, Amir Levi, Tsevi Mazeh, Michał Pawlak, R. Michael Rich, Lev Tal-Or, Lukasz Wyrzykowski. arxiv.org. September 8, 2015.

Maoz, Loeb and colleagues compare optical variability with historical radio-burst fields and propose stellar counterparts. Their association calculations depend on selection and assumptions; simultaneous counterpart evidence and raw-data replication are missing.
